PETA
Animals are not ours
to experiment on, eat, wear, use for entertainment, or abuse in any other way.

Ryan Hajek

Ryan broke up with meat after he realized that the cows he saw while on vacation would die in a slaughterhouse. A cookbook eventually convinced him to go vegan, and he joined a concert tour circuit to inform audiences across the U.S. about how animals endure miserable lives when they’re used for meat, dairy, and eggs. When he’s not exploring the latest artificial intelligence technology, Ryan enjoys riding rollercoasters, reading books, and doing everything he can to #EndSpeciesism.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”

— Ingrid E. Newkirk, PETA President and co-author of Animalkind
